I want to...
Get a boyfriend/girlfriend
After swearing to your friends that you would rather jump in a lake than get involved with anyone (you were 13 at the time), you have to admit now that the guy in Grade 11 with the dark curly hair gives you serious butterflies.
Get fitter
Exercise is good for you. We show you how to get fit and be healthy!
Lose weight
Losing weight is never easy. But now, you've got Health24 on your side. If you follow the steps below, we will be there beside you, kilo for kilo.
Pass my exams
Writing exams is not most people's idea of fun. In fact, you'd probably rather be watching late-night infomercials than writing that Maths exam. Or wash mounds of dishes.
Know more about safe sex
If you've taken the decision to have sex, make sure it's safe sex. Gone are the days when the worst thing that could happen was pregnancy – unsafe sex could cost you your life.
Deal with stress
Everyone has stress in their lives. All stress is not bad – stress is a good motivator for most people. And your teens is a very stressful time in your life.
Make more friends
Your teens are exciting, but difficult times. And now is the time you need all the support you can get. That's what friends are for.
Beat acne
As if you don't already have enough to cope with, there's now also a zit the size of a planet on your nose. Rest assured you're not alone.
Know more about sex
Sex is all around us. It gets used to sell cars, ice creams, even insurance policies. But how much do you really know about sex? What do you need to know before you can make the right sexual choices for yourself?
Deal with a drug problem
Drugs have become a bigger problem and choices and decisions that teens have to make about these issues have become more pressing.
Get on better with my family
If you feel your family doesn't always make the grade, know that you've got lots of company. Families are made up of people, and people are never perfect. Neither are you. Scary thought, but a true one. So what can you do to get on better with your family?
Make some money
While your parents are paying for everything, they have a say about what you wear, what movies you see and what music you listen to. But getting your own money is not always easy. We'll show you how.
